Analysis of The Doppleganger
Charlene Delfin 1990 (Mandaluyong City)
Oh, you look so much like him!
… Except that you are yellow.
Does being someone you seem
Make you just as wild, mellow,
And super smart to the brim?
Tell secrets with your tone low.
I will tell on you quickly!
No, I’m just kidding. Relax
But still, you should just study.
Work as quickly as a fox.
Your mind is dwelling on things
That will not help you to last.
